2025Protected animal species - 75 years of the Palic Zoo - Sheetlets

The Palić Zoo, founded as a cultural institution on May 31, 1950 by the city of Subotica, is located in a protected nature area. The first inhabitants of this zoo were a bear and a griffon vulture, and among the exotic animals, a monkey and a cockatoo parrot. Initially, the Palić Zoo occupied two hectares of space, and today it extends to 15 hectares, within which there are 70 aviaries, woven into the natural environment of the botanical garden. In this arranged oasis of nature, visitors can see and get to know autochthonous and exotic plant and animal species that they cannot see in their natural habitat.
